[email protected] – Tel. 07779 983072 Longhoughton Parish Joint Meeting with Longhoughton Ward Parish Chairmen - I have organised an informal meeting with all nine Chairmen of the Parish Councils which lie within the Longhoughton ward, and include, Ellingham, Edlingham, Eglingham, Rennington, Craster, Embleton, Longhoughton, Newton by the Sea and Powburn/Hedgeley. The date is September 1st 2017 at 6.30pm and will take place at the Thrunton Trout Fishery. One of the most important things we can do is to find out what we all have in common. When we share something with the people around us – no matter how small or insignificant it seems – it can help us make connections we never realised we could. I am extremely hopeful that the Chairman of Longhoughton Parish Council, Cllr Bryan Ellis, will be able to represent Longhoughton PC and join with the other 8 Parish Council Chairmen on 1st September. Crowlea Road – The flooding which has been an issue on Crowlea Road for over ten years has now had the broken drain repaired, courtesy of British Gas. All initial work and investigations were undertaken by NCC engineers. North End - Northumbrian Water have now fully repaired the drain which is believed to have been damaged back in 2007 when installing a new water supply and for the last 10 years has not been in working use until repair work was carried out in June 2017. All of the initial work and investigations were undertaken by NCC engineers. Longhoughton to Denwick road - Discussions are taking place via NCC Development Control to secure a section 59 agreement with the quarry owner Purvis Ltd for their extraordinary HGV use on this particular route 20 mph speed limit – Mr Richard McKenzie, traffic manager has advised that the traffic management plan for the village is moving forward and he is hopeful that implementation will take place during September.
